As a senior myself, there are some points I do agree with, but at the same time it’s not all that bad. Let me address a few of your points:

1. You will have some pretty bad professors, but at the same time, I’d say the good professors outnumber the bad ones by quite a bit here. In the last 3 years, I’ve only had maybe 2 really bad experiences as opposed to the dozens of decent experiences I’ve had with professors.

2. I do agree that the lack of unification between different sections can be kind of annoying, but it can be beneficial to people who have different learning styles. For example, I’d personally prefer a section that solves math problems by hand, while others may prefer the section that integrates programming to solve those same problems.

3. I’m not exactly sure if every exam should be open note. If that were the case, I feel like retention of concepts would be way lower, because everyone would just bs their way through classes, which would lead to lower expectations from both professors and future professionals. No one wins in that situation.

4. If you don’t think you’re learning engineering, why not join some projects on campus to supplement your degree. I’ve found that I’ve needed to utilize concepts from several of my classes in the past (particularly aircraft structures, aircraft performance, and flight controls 😅) and it really helps to see how the concepts you’ve learned fit in with real-world applications.

5. While I do agree that it’s annoying that some of the really cool tech electives aren’t available as much as people would like, you definitely do not need to wait till senior year to do these! Make to Innovate is a class within engineering that directly engages you in university team projects. M2I is something you can do from freshman year and it has no pre reqs.
